OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
OUR JAcK.oF.ALL-TRApEs.

From his getting up TO his going ts bed,
Our dear little Jack-aged four
With piles and piles OF playthingl tpread
AL over the nursery door,
Il as hard at work rs boy can be-
A boy that's so very small;
And the funniest part OF II is, you 500,
That he isn't our Jack at all
Hes music man, with big baton;
Or, with Dridgets best tin pan,
And his papa's cane for his clattering gong.
He's . breathless ambulance man.
Hes carpenter, shinglng pasteboard house |;
With table and big jack kknife,
And mamma's apron tied round his blouse,
He's butcher, as big as life.
Hes fierce policeman, with dreadful frown,
And threatening club clutched tight
And arrests all the dolls In the whole doll.town.
Though they are harmless and peaceful,
quito.
Hes scissors man. win tho dinner bell;
He's a grocer, with scoop; $3.50
Hes peddlcr, with armfuls OF things TO sell
He's Smilk man, with such o whoop!
Hes everything that comes into his head;
Indeed, IL Is only when
Hes sound asleep In his wee, white bed,
That he's our little Jach again!

He Was Innocent.

JOLIET, III. Feb. 2l.-Johh II. Hall,
sentenced for life In 1884 for the Mount
Pulaski triple tragedy, In which John
McMahon, rich bachelor, and his two
hired men, Robert Melthewy and John
Carlock, were murdered, died this morn
ing In the prison hospital. Hall was gen
orally believed to be innocent, and re-
cent developments tend to confirm that
belief.
The murder for which he was sentenced
created great excitement and greatly in.
famed the community. Hall and Nc
Mahon were neighbors. and Halls brother
married McMahon's sister. Mcmahon
also had sister half crazy, who remem
bered after the murder to have heard Hal
talk about the gagging and muiderin.
that had been done in Texas while he wa,
there. She insisted from this that Hal
did the deed, since all three Of the IL ur
dered men were gagged, hobbled ant
blindiolded when found, with thei
throats cut Suspicion was at once di
rected TO Hall.
The murder was committed In August
1882. Hall was not arrested until yea
Iater, and WAS tried In June, 1884.
He proved distinct abb by three 0
his neighbors and his two daughters. bu
was convicted on the evidence OF fellow
prisoner, who swore that Hall confesse
to him that he plotted and carried GU
the job. This, Hall said, was hired dc
tective who perjured himself 70

cry; he is now in. the penitentiar
for burglary, and says that he swor
falsely.
There is another convict, named Rober
Todd, who confessed to the warden, {
Hall, and to Alonzo Hendron, hospita
nurse, that lie knew Hall was innocent
and that he knew the men who commit
ted the murder. He said that he was
memter of the gang and was with thei
when they planned the robbery; that b
was Swallowed too closely and had to leay
and that three days after the murder WI
done. He says they were doubtless re,
ognized by Mcmahon, and the KILN
was then necessary. Hall made dyin
statement in which he maintained his IL
nocenee and stated that he knew the tru,
would come out some day. The Governt
